Day 20: Tempting Treat

I got tempted into eating one for an afternoon snack. Tempting? Yup, it was! And I gave in.

Tofi Luk bars - sinful yet satisfying.

Day 19: The Movies I Watched

I resorted to having a date with my DVD player for a dose of chick flicks (read: romance and love laden movies) while I'm nursing this stupid strain on my neck and back. Generally, I picked out movies that appealed to my senses - made me laugh, made me cry, made me think.

Day 18: On Neck Brace

The night of the accident, pain started searing through my neck and back. I thought resting for the whole weekend will help me recover from the pain. But no, it even got worse.

The whole day today, I felt discomfort and pain. As much as I didn't want to, I had to drag myself to the hospital to have myself checked. And so there, I was recommended to be on neck brace for the next couple of days with matching medications, rest from all the heavy stuff like driving and lifting and a trip to the ortho and/or rehab doctor to have myself checked further after the medications.

So there, the day I dreaded came...I had to wear a neck brace. And it's a first for me. But of course, I wouldn't be caught wearing it without even being glamorous (or otherwise) about it. LOL!

**Taken at the hospital cafeteria after the trip to the ER made me all hungry and sad**

Day 17: The Golden Band

I bought this a couple of days before Christmas. It does fit some of the clothes that I have. I've used this headband only once since I bought it. I guess I should use it often to serve its purpose.

Day 16: Just Post It

I got them a couple of months ago because it was on sale. I haven't opened this pack of Post Its yet but I will...very soon!

Day 15: The Car Accident

I was waiting for my turn to enter the open parking lot in front of MOA's Hypermarket when I suddenly felt a strong bump from behind my car. I would usually remove my seatbelt whenever I'm gonna enter a parking area. It's a good thing that I didn't remove mine at that time because I might have hit the steering wheel due to the strong impact. I was a little disoriented after but I was able to manage to get out of the car and face the reckless driver.

From the driver himself (he doesn't know how to speak English and knew very little Filipino), he lost control of his car and forgot to step on the brakes. Yeah, he was just plain stupid.

He paid up for the damage. But he and his female companion complained when they were being given a ticket by the traffic police. The female companion didn't want me to leave and instead opened the left side of my car. I pushed her away, shut close my car and told her that she didn't have any right to open my car in any way. I told them that I'll return the money and press charges instead. The female companion shut up and they were dealt with accordingly by the traffic police.

I got home safe but my neck's hurting. I think I'll be fine though. I probably just have to rest.

I'm still thankful that this was just all what happened to me today. I have to set aside time for the car to get fixed as I can't afford not to have a car during weekdays. Victoria's been battered this week. I cannot even open her trunk. Anyway, I do hope this would be the last of all the not-so-good things that happened to me this week. I want a better week next week!

Day 14: My Random Stuff

I'm not the most organized person you will meet. Although I have my own organization style, I don't obsess that much about keeping everything sparkling clean all the time. When I get home from work, my jewelry, car keys and other things land on my desk. And then I get a quote from the Box of Laughs that was a gift to me by a friend 2 Christmases ago.

I was laughing at the quote I got because it reminded me of a person who likes telling these knock-knock jokes. Funny because the person crossed my mind while I got my quote.
